“Snip & Chip” – free microchips in time for hurricane season

This month, we’re offering a “snip & chip” special. Every pet that is spayed or neutered at the ACT Clinic during June 2009 will receive a free microchip at the time of surgery. Additional tests, vaccines and pet products are available at our regular low prices. Appointments are required. Call the clinic at (813) 250-3900 to reserve an appointment, or visit www.actampa.org for additional information.

Why microchip? Hundreds of pets go missing each year. Emergency situations, like a hurricane can separate you from your four-legged friend in a matter of seconds.  A microchip provides a permanent form of identification that cannot be altered.

About Microchipping: A microchip is a means of identification that contains a number unique to your pet. It’s about the size of a grain of rice. The microchip is inserted between the shoulder blades of a cat or dog using a needle, in a procedure similar to a vaccination. It takes just seconds. Once inserted, the chip remains under the skin for the entire life of the pet. The pet’s information is then entered into a national database. If your pet is lost, a shelter or veterinarian can scan the microchip and access the information.

Dinner benefit a success!

Our “Spay-ghetti” and no balls dinner benefit was a success! Over 100 people came to support ACT’s mission to end pet overpopulation in Tampa Bay. The event brought in over $3500 that will be used toward this goal.

Event features included dinner, a cash bar and a silent auction with items such as wine, gift certificates to local restaurants, beautiful jewelry and gift baskets with pet toys and treats. Angel, the spokespet for ACT’s Angel Fund, was there to warm hearts and tell her story. ACT’s founders, Linda and Frank Hamilton, shared the latest statistics for overpouplation in Tampa Bay, emphasizing that the number of animals going into our local shelters has decreased since ACT started, but we still have a long way to go. Dr. Joanne Wagner, one of ACT’s veterinarians, discussed the mission and high standard of care pets are given at the clinic. The date for the 2009 annual Stride for Strays walkathon was also announced – October 31.
